The architects who designed this monolith cleverly stuck a mall in front of it that you’re forced to walk through to get to the tower. Evil!

Facing northwest from the 89th-floor gallery. That building with the yellow roof is the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. The large domed structure behind it is the Taipei Arena, and just a bit further down the street is my hotel. Can you see it?

Two floors up on the 91st is an outdoor observation deck — surprisingly calm until you realize there are guards keeping people from the windward side.

But there was this odd whistling sound that you can hear above.

You can thank my N86 on loan from Nokia for the awesome pics. More on that in a future post…
